Do you know what happens when a ductless system is poorly
installed? Hopefully you’ve never found out the hard way—but it’s important to
be aware that ductless systems have unique needs, and if not properly installed
and followed up with routine professional maintenance, your new ductless
cooling and heating system can suffer. This means your overall comfort can
suffer.

Ductless cooling systems are fantastic for efficiency—they
allow you to have zone-controlled cooling and afford you many other benefits. They’re
particularly great for homes that don’t have the space for a ducted system, or
households that experience indoor air quality problems due to their ducted HVAC
system. But as we said, ductless systems have unique needs—what can happen to
yours if not properly installed?

This is a common question our professionals get, and we understand. You’d like your system to run efficiently, so you want to know how to best maintain it—yourself, that is.

Temperatures are finally cooling down, and with fall officially here, chances are you aren’t thinking too much about your air conditioning in Rio Rancho, NM. In fact, we hope that you’ve had heater maintenance done so you’re prepared for the winter season.

But, what if you need AC repair needs? Can they just wait until next year? Well, we really recommend that you not procrastinate. If you think AC repairs can wait until next spring when you need to worry about cooling again, you may be in for an unpleasant surprise.

The circuit breakers in your home are there to protect your electrical system from overload on a particular circuit. There are a number of reasons they may turn off, i.e. trip. Your AC system requires enough energy that it will have its own circuit breaker, and sometimes this circuit breaker can trip due to weather conditions.

However, if you’ve noticed your AC breaker tripping too frequently, giving resistance when switching to “on” or immediately tripping a second time right after switching it on, then you should be concerned. If this is the case, leave it off for now and give the professionals on our team a call.

Their reasoning is that as long as the system is working, why bother replacing it? While it’s true that you can keep an air conditioner up and running for quite a long time, the question is: is it worth it? Let’s examine whether or not you should replace your old air conditioner, even if it’s still working.
